Pierre Restany, Sorel Etrog, London/Munich, 2011, page 77
Throughout the 1960s, Sorel Etrog’s recurring link motif became a tool in exploring the limits of space and tension within his practice. The artist discusses using the link to join the sculptural elements, recalling: “I was lucky to have discovered the Etruscan links which showed me how to join multiple shapes organically. The Link created a tension and the point where they joined, where they pulled together or pulled apart.” “Solo” demonstrates this fine balance of tension in the sweeping curved elements of the form, which link to the central anchoring body.
